Contest

There are many students who are working very hard in my summer contest! I have decided to give a prize to the student at the pizza party with the most accumulated points. (This way, students don't quit once they reach 75. LOL) So far, Emma Claire, Megan and Matthew R are out in the lead. I told the students to try for 9 points per week to reach the goal of 75 by the end of July. The students who have reached this goal so far are: Matthew R, David, Hannah, Jonathan, Ella, Zeke, Megan, Emma Claire, Haley, Maddie, Brian and Kevin. The others just need to do a little catch up if they want to come to the pizza/ice cream sundae party on July 31st. Good luck to all :)

Congratulations Hannah and David

Hannah and David are off to a super practice start this summer! Hannah reached 52 songs on her learned list, thus putting herself on the "Learned List Hall of Fame." She is just about ready to be promoted to Level 2! David made it to 100 songs, earning himself a star beside his name. He was promoted to Level 3 this week. Way to go guys! Keep up the great practicing :)
